There are no kangaroos in Austria.
That's a well known sentence Austrians sometimes have to repeat if we are confused with Australians. Soon it will not help anymore because there will be no more kangaroos in Australia either.

This story sounds surrealistic, but it' s true. Mass surveillance is a real danger to our freedom and privacy.
Especially when our informations are sold on the black market... š

I also decided to delete most of my old tweets (in the birdsite), but while still keeping the ones that I wanted. I wrote an open source tool called semiphemeral to help me do this -- it turns out social media privacy is quite popular these days

To celebrate 10.000 views of Part 1 of my anti #GAFAM guide I rewrote the section on #InstantMessengers.
It now highlights #Riot / #Matrix, #Conversations and #DeltaChat as very privacy friendly. Do you agree?
I also added a Contact post to my blog recently including my Matrix and #Tutanota addresses, all my active #Fediverse profiles and #Discourse forums.

2019 has been a big year for Tor. We released Tor Browser for Android, redesigned our website, launched our cryptocurrency donation page, improved major features of Tor Browser, created an Anti-Censorship team, and more.
We have big plans for 2020, too.

Just posted one of my articles on HackerNews, will probably start posting more on there when I am able to write more. There is an article about instagram coming up soon.... so.
Anyway if you are celebrating Christmas then I hope its a good one, and if not then have a good holiday!

@privacytools welcomes #Safing (https://safing.io/) as first sponsor š„³

Remember the mantra: people are people, and people are stupid. They can be lazy, moronic, ignorant, arrogant, infantile, and everything in between. When you make or do something that involves other people, that is really the second half of said project: accounting for the stupidity of people. If it doesn't directly affect them in a big or flashy way, then they won't care. It's why cybersecurity and privacy is hastily being torn and sold away in the UK and US.

Hopefully I got all the bugs and or typos, but if you see one, let me know!

If anyone can invite me to https://lobste.rs then that would be great!
What does your family think about your stance on privacy. I have convinced my family to use a signal instead of whatsapp but other then that they don't want to budge.
Do you have similar issues?

The right to #protest is fundamental to a strong #democracy and protected by the 1st Amendment in the United States, but...
āStrategic Lawsuits Against Public Participationā...are a particularly dangerous form of lawsuit. SLAPPs target civil society advocates, community leaders, journalists, whistleblowers...SLAPPs masquerade as ordinary civil lawsuits, but their true purpose is to silence criticism."
